LAME has crude algorithm which allocates bits based on
the energy contained in the side channel vs. mid channel.
It definatly needs work: I have some test cases where LAME allocates
too many bits to the side channel, and other test cases (like ftb_samp.wav)
where it allocates too few.
I tried the side channel "sparsing" algorithm described in
the ISO docs a long time ago, and it does not work at all.
